How to Choose Environmentally Compliant Forklifts for Your Mexico Plant

Environmental Compliance Isn’t Optional—It’s the New Standard

Forklift selection today goes beyond just performance. If you’re launching or operating a facility in Mexico, you need to align with NOM-044, SEMARNAT, and federal emissions regulations to avoid penalties and shutdowns.

Key Criteria for Compliance-Ready Forklifts

  • Low or zero-emission engines (electric or lithium-powered)
  • Certification for energy efficiency and emissions
  • Noise-reduction features for workplace safety
  • Compatibility with renewable energy or efficient charging

Compliance Doesn’t Mean Compromise

You can meet environmental goals without sacrificing performance. Lithium forklifts, for example, deliver longer shifts, faster charging, and zero exhaust emissions—ideal for enclosed or multi-shift operations.

Choose Partners Who Understand the Mexican Regulatory Environment

Work with suppliers that understand local compliance frameworks and provide documentation and certifications that withstand SAT, IMMEX, and environmental authority reviews.
